SR20DET-powered Datsun 1200 coupe. 'Nuf said.

Contents

Overview

Club member AFRacer built one of the first SR20 Turbo 1200s back in 2004-2005. He used an automatic-tunneled 1200 to make the fit easy.

Fuel System

The fuel system will consist of a high volume low pressure electric pump (Holley) sucking out of the gas tank into a surge tank, then the Walbro will suck out of the Surge Tank to the engine.

Brake System

The SR swap only adds a few hundred lbs to the car, so it doesn't necessarily require bigger brakes. However you will likely be going faster, so it's a good idea to upgrade the brakes. Use a large diameter rotor to increase braking leverage while reducing pedal force needed -- the S13 Brakes swap is the easiest way.
